So I was leaving work the other day, going to the parking garage where my car was located, and when I opened my door, I did something that all of us have done at one time or another:

I hit the car next to me with my car door.

Now usually, hitting a car with your car door doesn't do any damage; at least, no visible damage. But sometimes, it does leave evidence of the act. A dent. A ding. A scratch.

In this particular case, my hitting the car with my door led to the rear view mirror being askew.

Now there are two things you can do when you ding someone's car with your own:

1) Leave a note on the front of the car, explaining to the owner what happened, and leaving your contact information in case any damages have to be paid.

Or 2) Get the hell out of there before anyone sees you and/or the owner shows up.

Political correctness tells us to leave the note.

I chose to get the hell out of Dodge.

Now I know what you're saying:

Nevin, how could you? You damaged some poor guy's car and rather than take responsibility for your actions, you run away like a thief in the night? That's just wrong, Nev. Wrong wrong wrong.

But here's what you're thinking:

I'd of gotten the hell out of there too.

Let's be honest with ourselves. Whenever you accidentally hit someone's car, your first instinct is to run. Run hard. Run fast. Run far so no one sees you. If you rear-end somebody on the street, you can't run but you sit there wishing that you could. It's just a fact. You don't want to own up to your mistakes. You want to get out of there before you get caught!!

And you want to know why?

Money. :-)

Simply put, I don't want to pay for the damages I caused!! It's an unnecessary expense I don't need. I got to pay for my own car, my home, my food, my video games, and I simply don't have any extra funds to pay for the damages I've done to someone else's car. So if I have the option of not getting caught for my mistake, I take it!!

I'm just saying what everyone else is thinking, folks.

Now: If someone dinged up my car real bad with their car door and didn't leave a note, would I be upset that they didn't?

Yes.

Is that hypocritical?

Yes.

Should others be expected to pay for damages they did to me, even if I avoid paying for damages I did to them?

Yes.

Is it right for me to feel this way?

No.

Do I care?

No.

Do you understand where I'm coming from?

If you're honest with yourself -- and listen to that little voice that says "RUN" -- then yes, you do.

Listen to that voice.

It will save you money.

:-)

And now for this week's:

SIGN OF THE APOCALYPSE

Earlier this week, I was IMing (that's "instant messaging", for those older-generation readers of mine) with a friend of mine, and we were arguing over what she considered my bad eating habits. During this IM chat, my friend said the following:

Nev, I'm telling you this because I care. If I didn't care, I wouldn't say anything and simply watch you die.

That's what makes you a cunt. Some of us were brought up to be honest and have some self respect. If it was an accident, then 99% of the time, the other person will be alright, I should know as I sat for 10 minutes in a supermarket car park after bumping someone's car to make sure everything was okay with the driver - they were surprised, but very greatful for me for waiting and it made me feel better and did not leave some other person hating humans. Grow up, grow some balls or fuck off this planet.

About Me

I'm what they call in Southern California a "Valley boy", born and raised in the San Fernando Valley. But there's one difference between me and the other Valley-ites of the world: I hate sushi!! I mean, I can't stand it. It's raw fish, people. It's disgusting. I don't find it trendy, hip or delicious. I like my burgers, my hot dogs, my red meat in general. Why is this important, you ask? Because it sums up who I am. I am clueless when it comes to trends, I like random types of music, I think it's wrong to spend triple digits on tennis shoes, I don't own an iPod, and if we were ever taken over by a technologically challenged country whose dictator announced, "From now on, the only video game system you can play is the old-school Nintendo," I'd be OK.
